You could try patching metacity with either of the fixes
mentioned here 
(or some other fix) and verify that they work for wine:
http
://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=346927

They are both basically 1-2 line changes, so there's no
patch there but 
there should be enough info to easily patch metacity.

The other thing to test I guess is whether apps like e.g.
mplayer/xine 
still get heuristically fullscreened, though for all I know
recent 
mplayer uses the proper hints now.

It's best to add further info on the bug so it doesn't get
lost.
